Kush - a cheap, new, illegal drug high - is taking the youth of Sierra Leone to a dark place. Young people driven mad. Young people killing themselves. Young people harming themselves and others.

Psychiatric wards are filling up with Kush cases and police are battling to win the war against the drug. With Kush use spreading like wildfire, and ever younger users being exposed to it, Africa Eye reporter Tyson Conteh investigates the drug and asks whether Sierra Leone can stop the march of this dangerously addictive high.
